    About BILLY STRINGS:
    Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, who arrived on the scene as “one of string music’s most dynamic young stars” (Rolling Stone). Strings is in the midst of a triumphant year after winning Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards for his critically acclaimed record, Home. Produced by Glenn Brown, the record also led Strings to top Billboard’s 2020 year-end charts in both Bluegrass categories-Top Bluegrass Artists and Top Bluegrass Albums-and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Of the release, The Associated Press proclaims, “it is his creative musical storytelling, paired with solid vocals on Home that should seal the deal, pleasing fans of the genre and creating some new ones…the perfect blend of pure talent and pluck,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “Billy Strings has clearly emerged as a premier guitar flatpicker of this era.” Since his debut, Strings has been awarded Guitar Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Awards, selected as one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artists to Know” and performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and PBS’ “Bluegrass Underground.” Known for his electric live shows, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour throughout 2021 including upcoming shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Atlanta and Nashville among several others.
    Out September 24 via Rounder Records, Renewal was produced by Jonathan Wilson (Conor Oberst, Roger Waters, Father John Misty) and solidifies Strings’ position as a singular artist-one who honors the history of the music that inspires him, while continually pushing it forward. With the record’s sixteen tracks, Strings shares a more personal and honest perspective through his songwriting, while incorporating his wide range of influences with elements of bluegrass, classic rock, metal, psychedelic music and more.
    LYRICS
    (Apostol / Failing / Masat / Walker)
    A twisted game of hide and seek
    The stench of darkness and defeat
    Another day without relief
    Leaves me broken
    Curtains falling all around
    Echoes up from underground
    Screaming out without a sound
    Leaves me breathless
    Well it’s a dark time I do believe
    A cold winds a blowin' at my door
    Incredible light I'm gonna find
    Where I don’t have to worry anymore
    A feast for eyes deprived of peace
    Internal pressure no release
    Pain eternal my disease
    Neverending
    Paralyzed and drowned in thought
    All the things that I have lost
    My salvation can't be bought
    Drains me empty
    Well it’s a dark time I do believe
    A cold winds a blowin' at my door
    Incredible light I'm gonna find
    Where I don’t have to worry anymore
    I wasn’t ready to believe
    Constant failure to achieve
    Nothing hidden up my sleeve
    I remember
    Well it’s a dark time I do believe
    A cold winds a blowin' at my door
    Incredible light I'm gonna find
    Where I don’t have to worry anymore
    It’s a dark time I do believe
    A cold winds a blowin' at my door
    Incredible light I'm gonna find
    Where I don’t have to worry anymore

    A good song. Consider, though, the chorus:
    "Well it’s a dark time I do believe
    A cold winds a blowin' at my door
    Incredible light I'm gonna find
    Where I don’t have to worry anymore"
    Despite the song’s instrumental mirth, the chorus comes from the final text messages a friend sent before committing suicide.
    Woof!! How's that for being hit right between the eyes in the middle of your enjoyment?
